Mental Health Exercises - #0001 - Gratitude
#0001 — Gratitude: Why does everything suck all of the time? *Spoiler*: it doesn’t, but it sure does feel that way sometimes. It’s because our brains evolved with a bias for the negative. Evolution configured us to be influenced more by negative events and ideas, than those of a positive nature.

Why is it important to talk about mental health at work?
It’s a conversation that needs to take place everywhere, but especially at work. A study by Willis PMI Group showed that only 35% of workers had talked with their manager about a mental health problem. This is scary because it means that employees are not disclosing mental health problems at work, which can have a negative impact on their performance. In another report, it was stated that “mental ill-health was estimated to cost UK employers £26 billion per year in lost output”. A big part of this loss is due to presenteeism and reduced productivity.
